Help Monica Jayne Overcome Chronic Illness

Hello, I go by "Monica Jayne", all four syllables, just like my mom used to call me before she passed over 13 years ago, which was completely preventable had she known about what I'm pursuing today...

I haven't felt well for four years.

And, for the past two I've felt pretty "dead".

On June 28, 2024 the words "I think I'm dying. Like, actually dying." appeared.

I was shocked and stunned and that is when I decided to take seriously, very seriously, the act of finding out what the heck has been going on with my health.

I could have gone on living life like this for 8-10 years chalking it up to "female problems" like so many females do because seeking support is typically fruitless because there haven't been enough medical studies done for female health to even understand how to help us in the first place, but instead, I decided to face the music and seek help from a specialist that can actually help me and not send me away like most allopathic medical professionals do, saying what I'm going through is "normal changes" or something dismissive like that.

What we have found so far and what is ahead of me on this journey of Chronic Illness Recovery is why I'm here on my 42nd birthday to ask for your support with my recovery.

With the testing we have done so far, we now know it is due to the chronic illnesses, nutrient deficiencies causing drastic neural and brain functioning issues, and a literal inability to absorb nutrients that I have been so tired all day everyday and dealing with impossible executive function, which means I haven't been able to bring in any new sales income in 2024. My brain literally cannot function right now to be able to do so. I am in actual disability mode, and I need help.

I am almost 12 months into spending my savings to survive.

My savings are finally running out.

I have to face the music.

I need help.

I can't repeat a fate like my mother's -

See, my mom died way too young!

She died of Ovarian and Primary Peritoneal Cancers.

She had been in and out of a number of allopathic medical professionals' offices for over a year complaining of symptoms, and they'd send her away saying she was "overreacting", "worrying about nothing", and it was "just menopause".

She went to multiple doctors across the USA because she and my dad had retired as nomads and were traveling in their RV to see it all!

All the traditional medical doctors dismissed her and said the same.

It wasn't until she was at Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, which has a 0% chance of survival, with her belly bigger than it would be at 9 months pregnant, looking like it was about to rip open, that the doctor in New Hampshire took her seriously and she was actually tested properly and given a proper diagnosis.

Had they paid attention to the signs earlier on, perhaps she'd be alive today!

I do not have Ovarian Cancer.

Yet.

Thank goodness!!

And, with your help, I don't intend to have it. EVER!

Through the journey with my mom, we learned that females need to ask for them to test your CA-125 levels, and if you don't know to ask, they likely won't unless like in her case, it's too late. Ovarian Cancer is called the "silent killer".

Please pass this piece of information on to every female you know!!!

We are still testing to get super specific about my conditions, diagnoses, and treatment plans but the initial tests show:

Conventional medicine likes to say CFS and Autoimmune cannot be reversed, but they can and they are by practitioners like mine, who work both inside and outside of the means and practices of conventional medicine!!

My provider is both in conventional medicine as a prescribing Physicians Assistant as well as outside with numerous holistic medicine trainings and certifications and decades of experiences that give her the wisdom set to customize my treatment properly, and she has more clients that reverse CFS and autoimmune than those that do not.

When reversed, I will avoid a fate like my mom's.

However, all testing and treatments are out of pocket because our healthcare system isn't set up in a way that insurance would pay for any of my providers services or the treatments.

They won't pay until it's likely too late, like with my mom.

I'm not a going to suffer longer or wait for that to come. I'm acting NOW!

She and I are pictured here in 2011 during one of her final stays having gone to emergency the last months of her life.

I WILL NOT have the same fate as her. I REFUSE.

I do not have familial ties,

or a partner,

or any traditional means to support me financially.

I'm on my own 100%. Have been financially for 26 years - since I was 16 years old.

There's no inheritance coming.

Nothing.

This is all up to me.

I've tallied up all I've paid so far and estimated - on the low end - how much it will cost for one year of testing, comprehensive treatments, and service.

Health statuses like mine often require two years for a complete turn around, but we will start here at $45,000 for one year of recovery.

I hope for a recovery after just one year, after which I have my executive function back, I can provide for myself once again without issue, and I go into maintenance and keeping myself in peak health

I believe this is possible if I we complete this fundraising campaign and I have the funding for the care I need in order to do so.

I hope that can happen here or something better!!

Let it be so...

For my 42nd birthday, I humbly ask for y'alls help to keep me alive and well as I have SO MUCH left to give and so much more work and contribution for this world we live in.

I dream of raising a beautiful family, of creating a retreat center for deep rest and trauma recovery, of supporting 1000s into emotional maturity and authentic expression, and of stewarding and influencing the 1% to finally distribute wealth and resources properly such that we resolve the housing and hunger crises and put a stop to the mental health epidemic of survivors of childhood sexual assault, which accounts for most houselessness due to mental health disease.

I'm not done here!

I've gone through too many trials and earned too much wisdom for it to go to my death bed too soon without giving it all back and paying it forward. See this page for some of the details of my life story thus far.

If you agree or if you just want to help me out because of who I be and not only for what I do, please, please, please, make a contribution.

And, remember that many hands make light work -

SHARE. SHARE. SHARE.

Pass this on along with a message about how I've affected you to all the people you can think of that could support my cause.

Sharing and sharing and sharing is exactly how were were able to raise so much so quickly for my mom back in 2010-2011:

When my mom was ill, I contributed $25,000 of my own money to her treatment and gave her my car and was able to fundraise $45,000 for her through contributions from friends, family, complete strangers, and a 3-part series music concert festival I produced with help of countless volunteer for whom I'm forever grateful.

I know from that experience that raising funds of this magnitude rapidly is possible.

I'm here today to do the same for me!

To be honest, because of my health status, I haven't been able to work to produce income from new sales for about a year.

I have to face the music and making this gofundme is a way I'm doing that now.

My savings, which I proudly share kept me going for almost a year now and paid off all my debts, are near depleted. So, I'm asking for help with healthcare costs here.

This ask doesn't include rent, food, car insurance, living, etc.

I will be needing to figure out ways to bring that in too, and

I trust that with the need for this healthcare funding being relieved here, lots and lots of stress and anxiety will go away, and I will heal faster and also be able to have capacity to produce income for this other stuff somehow.

THANK YOU

I've been financially independent and paying my way for 26 years - since 16yo!!

This is a big deal to allow myself to ask for help.

I've always been able to dig myself out, but this time, my health doesn't allow this possibility.

I've supported others by paying their way to the tune of 10s of $1000s over the years, most recently spotting someone for $45,000 a few years ago.

I ask the Universe to return and multiply all I've given.

I give myself permission now to receive this $45K+, a fraction of what I've provided and produced in my lifetime for many others' needs and fundraisers.

Amen.

Thank you humbly,

Monica Jayne ✨

P.S. I will make updates as we go along with testing and treatments. More test results coming end of September...
